Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-GFAP antibody [EPR1034Y] - Goat IgG (Chimeric) - BSA and Azide free (AB302645)

Composite multiplex immunofluorescence staining of Iba1, GFAP and MAP2 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human cerebral cortex*.

Performed on a Leica BOND. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Sodium citrate (Ph6.0) using retrieval settings of 100°C for 20 minutes. The section was then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour with ab300156 at 1µg/ml dilution (shown in green), ab183830 at 1µg/ml (shown in magenta), and ab302644 at 1µg/ml (shown in yellow). Then incubated for 1 hour with ab150161 Goat F(ab')2 Anti-Rat IgG Fc (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed 1/1000, ab150083 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 647) preadsorbed 1/1000, and ab150134 Donkey Anti-Goat IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 555) preadsorbed 1/1000. Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Dako Fluorescence Mounting Medium ®.

Image was taken with the EVOS™ S1000 Spatial Imaging System (ThermoFisher Scientific) with spectral unmixing and minor subsequent contrast adjustment.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.

Product details

ab302645 is the carrier-free version of ab302644.

This goat monoclonal chimeric antibody has been engineered from a RabMAb parent antibody (ab68428). By necessity, some rabbit sequence is retained as part of the variable domain. When multiplexing with other rabbit-derived antibodies, using cross absorbed FC-reactive secondary antibodies are recommended.

What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
